美軍將領將決定是否審判伯格達爾

The U.S. military has referred the investigation of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl’s 2009 disappearance from a base in Afghanistan to a General Courts Martial Convening Authority, to determine if he should be court martialed.

美國軍方決定把對中士伯格達爾2009年在阿富汗失蹤事件的調查交由一名最高軍事法庭開庭授權人，以決定他是否應接受軍事法庭審判。

In a written statement Monday, the Army said the head of its Forces Command, General Mark Milley, will decide either to prosecute the case or take no further action.

美國陸軍星期一發表書面聲明說，陸軍司令米萊將軍將決定是否提出起訴，還是不再採取進一步行動。

The U.S. secured Bergdahl’s release last May in a prisoner exchange with the Taliban. Bergdahl was held captive in Afghanistan for five years.

美國5月與塔利班交換囚犯，被阿富汗塔利班關押了五年的伯格達爾獲釋回國。

Some who served with him said he first deserted the Army and then was taken captive by the Taliban.

伯格達爾的一些戰友說， 他是開小差離開軍隊後被塔利班俘虜的。

Analysts say Bergdahl could face charges of desertion or being absent without leave.

分析人士說， 伯格達爾可能被控臨陣逃脫和擅離職守。

If the case is not prosecuted, Bergdahl could be entitled to as much as $300,000 in back pay.

如果軍方決定不起訴，伯格達爾可領取多達30萬美元的補發工資。

The Army said it does not comment on ongoing investigations.

陸軍表示不會對正在進行的調查發表評論。
